Trie only SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1957 Little Rock Political Aftermath The American scene political seems bound to be materially affected in 1058 and 1960 by the turbulent events at Little Rock this fall. These events will alter a picture already in continuous shifting" population and such special factors as 1957's discrediting disclosures in the field of organized labor. Most observers feel that the forceful line taken by President Eisenhower in the Little Rock controversy will severely handicap any effort of the Republicans to build a real flux as result of a swelling, changing economy, a growing, party in the South in the years just ahead. , Mr. Eisenhower's own deep elec- -' tion inroads in the South, especially in 1956, had encouraged some to feel that now was the time to y toil for a genuine system there. That prospect probably has vanished now. To the extent that Negroes participate more heavily in future ejections, some GOP gain might two-part- follow. But the belief is that this will be,'more than offset by major de- fections from among those who voted for the President last year. On the other hand, the political think Republicans in northern and western states will pick up additional Negro support which could be crucial in certain populous areas where Negroes appear to hold the balance of voting power. experts California, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York fall in this category. Obviously, northern Democrats in competing for these northern and western votes will likely feel compelled to press for strong civil rights programs. The balance in some of tha.se areas may already have shifted against them because of the population flight to the conservative suburbs. They will not be inclined to take the risk of further big losses. To urge strong civil rights projects, however, will be to put these Democrats at distinct odds with New Counseling Law Puts Brake on Divorce Editor's note: This Is the first of several articles on the new Utah marriage counseling service which will appear daily in this space.

It is a town where a man living on a retirement income could be a big man. It is located on U. S. Highway Congress in 1958. Beyond question, the effort to find common North-Sout- h ground in a 1960 Democratic platform will be made far more difficult by the sharpened differences growing out of about 52. miles north of 40 Iowa, Du- and midway beand Minneapolis. Minn. It describes itself as the center of the Little Swit- buque, tween Chicago, Little Rock.

Its residents drive new cais. some kind of boMs, and let junk accumulate in their back yards. Here's what makes Guttenberg a good bet for a retired man: 1.

Negroes persecuted! Civil war In Arkansas. Supreme Court faces firing squad 'American version: Supreme Court under fire'. Panic in stock market. President's golf game improving! A fine set of headlines about the great international nation, but every one could be deduced from our own newspapers. Furthermore, the Communist press is making it out worse than the above would imply. This is merely the way it appears to our friends when they read about the sureness of Jimmy Hoffa's election as president of the team-- " do-good- er sters while he and his friends are being posed ex- as racketeers. Thev read about Mr. Robertson Negroes being denied civil rights throughout the South, and when Fcd- eral troops march into a state to preserve order It certainly looks like civil war. Our foreign friends will remember that our former panics and depressions came right after the stock market took a dive, and it has been doing that for some time now, so to them it must em that our economy is in trouble. And the icing on the cake is that amid it all the president calmly plays golf with the apparent insouciance of a Nero fiddling while Rome burned. The Supreme Court, and it is rightfully called the bulwark of our liberties, has said that Jim Crow must go. Fau-hu- s called out his militia to preserve Jim Crow. The president of the United States left his golf game to hurry back to Washington to call out the regular army to put Faubus in his place. For . once since he has been president Mr. Eisenhower acted decisively. Maybe he waited too long, but finally he has said 'to the White Supremists lhat the constitution means what it says. There is now every indication that the backbone of Jim Crow has been broken. Nobody expects miracles, and there will be a lot of violence before it is over. But if Ike stands by his guns the schools will be integrated, and by the time the youngsters grow up racial equality will be accepted as a' matter of course. We have heard a lot to the effect that the decent, intelligent Southerners want to see the racial problem worked out with justice and fairness to all. and that the mob violence and the rioting is the work of the crackers, wool hats and The last is undoubtedly true. It is the ignorant who fear they can't compete with the Negroes under hill-billie- s. equal conditions who compose the mobs. But where have these decent, intelligent Southerners been all the time that they have raised no voice against the extremists? Why do they allow such as Faubus. Talmage and Johnson Jo speak for the South. All they seem to be doing now is protesting the Mr. Eisenhower's overdue use of force. Ve know, of course, that it isn't as bad as It looks, but we are certainly providing the buffalo chips for smoke enough to make it look as if we were being destroyed by a prairie fire of greed, brutality and ignorance. We have been losing the propaganda war to the Communists for some time, but now we have suffered a demoralizing defeat. If this is what America has to offer let her keep it, the underprivileged peoples of the world are saying now. It's all very well to say that the union scandal was brought about through the crass gangster tactics of Beck and Hoffa. and that Federal troops wouldn't have been sent to Arkansas if a peanut politician named Faubus had not incited the people to riot in the first place, but all these gentry did was break a hole in the crust to let the long suppressed stench filter through. There's a lot more yet to come. More important than anything else today is the issue of civil rights. It can't be resolved on the simple matter of whether or not you like "nigsers." Simple as the issue is nobody seems to want to come out in the open with it. I've read a lot about this, and everybody seems to pussyfoot. It amounts to this: The South insists that it will preserve its way of life. The heart of that way of life is denial of a just and dignified existence to some twenty million Negroes. So. either the South has got to give up its profitable prejudices, or the Negroes must reconcile themselves to being treated as second class citizens.

The public pays its own bills and it has a perfect right to say who shall and shall not enjoy its patronage. This writer is out of sympathy with all efforts to coerce a willing and generous people in the matter of medical care even as that of religious belief. Is the public going to be denied the rrivilege or right to select its physician, or is government compulsion going to furnish the prescription? The mayor of Los Angeles said he was not competent to medicate the people and the people oi Los Angeles voted the fluoridation proposition down three times and very likely will do the same thing again and again because the chemical company salesalong with their well-pai- d men are not going to give up trying to market their drug even if it does poison the people who consume it.

Probably most parents are not a disease usually known as cystic fibrosis of the pancreas. This is believed to be an inborn or hereditary disorder which oqcurs about once in 600 births. It is estimated that 7.000 children are born with this disease each year in the United States alone. It is a peculiar disorder. The most common symptoms are a chronic cough, abnormal intestinal functioning and excessive sweating, especially around the head. The disease is diagnosed not only from the symptoms but also by special tests, including analysis of the sweat. Although there familiar with ease at present, treatment with the antibiotics and by other means is important, particularly If given early.

Except for a kind of, fish called lungfishes, all fishes breathe by means of their gills. A fish takes In water through its mouth. The water flows over the gills and out through the opening behind the covers of the gills. This water contains oxygen which the fsh thus obtains to purify its blood, just as human beings take oxygen out of the air to purify their blood. When the water is contaminated In some way, fish will sometimes attempt to come to the top and breathe in air, but their gills are not suited for using the oxygen in the air. The blood of fishes is cold, but they have a nervous system like other animals and suffer pain. Their sense of touch is very keen, and they taste, as well as feel with their skin. Fish are able to smell too. They have two small organs ot smell, which are located in nostrils on the head. Fish have ears, but they are inside the head and are called internal ears. The reason fish are usually dark on top and light underneath is that this helps protect them from enemies. Seen from above, they look dark like the ocean or river bed. Seen from below, they seem right, like the light surface water.
